Hey Christmas....

how did you get here SO QUICKLY?? I feel like I was just celebrating this holiday last week!

Next to Summer, Christmastime is my most favorite time of year. If you know me IRL, you know that I detest cold weather. I've said so on this blog many a day. I do, however, LOVE Winter clothing. I think it is cute and cozy. I also love being snuggled under a fleece blanket watching television in my fleece Winter pajamas.

When I was a little girl, we used to watch the Mara Wilson version of Miracle on 34th Street and hang Christmas ornaments on the tree with our mom. Brent and I love Christmas traditions and make every effort to keep them.

I went home last weekend for the first time since the beginning of October. I love going home but am always very sad to leave. Once I get back to college, I'm happy as can be again though. While home, I ate with my family at my favorite Mexican food restaurant, got my Christmas card picture taken, ate lunch with friends, wrote an essay, saw my step-sister and her children and went to church. It was a jam packed weekend filled with lots of fun and chaos. Luc and Landry's Christmas Concert for school was last night. It was only 30 minutes but it was really cute! It brought back so many memories for me, both good and bad. Above they are with Uncle Mark and Aunt Liz below then their singing Santa Clause at their house. Gotta love them
